Contatto
The CONTATTO system is DUEMMEGI’s proprietary bus architecture for building automation. HSYCO fully integrates with this system through the MCP control and gateway module, and its FXP-XT serial communication protocol.
A serial connection between the MCP and the HSYCO SERVER is required for the integration, either directly through the server’s RS-232 port or via the RS-232 port of a supported serial to IP gateway, including the WEBS module.

Communication
Employ a DE-9 (often called DB-9) male-female RS-232 straight cable to connect the RS-232 MCP port to the serial port on HSYCO SERVER or serial gateway.
RS-232 parameters:
Baud rate | 9600, 38400, 57600 or 115200 bps (according to the MCP serial port setting) |
Data bits | 8 |
Stop bit | none |
Parity | none |
Flow control | none |
A speed of 115200 bps is recommended to achieve good performance, particularly when the number of devices connected to the bus is large.

language | english | en it fr | language for all messages from the CONTATTO system: English, Italian or French |
When using the RS-232 port of a networked serial gateway or the WEBS module, you should define the gateway’s parameters and point the CONTATTO I/O Server to the serial gateway.
For example:
ioServers = contatto ioServersType. contatto = CONTATTO ioServersComm. contatto = webs ioServersOptions. contatto = startupevents, outputdiscovery CommPorts = webs CommPort.webs.Type = server CommPort.webs.IP = 192.168.0.253 CommPort.webs.Port = 1002
You can define and connect to more than one CONTATTO bus using several MCP gateways. The CONTATTO I/O Server also supports dual, redundant connections between HSYCO and MCP. If the main connection fails, HSYCO automatically re-routes the communication with MCP through the fail-over connection.
For example:
ioServers = contatto ioServersType. contatto = CONTATTO ioServersComm. contatto = serial, eki CommPorts = serial, eki CommPort.serial.Id = ttyS0 CommPort.serial.Type = serial CommPort.serial.Params = 115200,8,1,0,0 CommPort.eki.Type = server CommPort.eki.IP = 192.168.0.187 CommPort.eki.IP.failover = 192.168.0.188 CommPort.eki.Port = 5300

The Device Configuration Database
The systemtopo.txt file contains the list of all devices and their individual input, output and virtual data points that could be directly associated to graphic object in the Web-based user interface. This file can be filled manually or automatically by HSYCO at start-up. To enable automatic discovery and automatic generation of devices’ information in the systemtopo file, use the inputdiscovery, outputdiscovery and virtualdiscovery options in the hsyco.ini configuration file. The default behavior is to only discover devices with output data points.
This is an example of an automatically generated systemtopo.txt file:
(devices) contatto.o10.1 : LIGHT ; LIGHT contatto.o6.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER contatto.o7.2 : LIGHT ; LIGHT contatto.o7.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER contatto.o9.2 : AUTOM ; VSHUT contatto.o5.4 : LIGHT ; LIGHT contatto.o9.1 : AUTOM ; VSHUT contatto.o5.3 : LIGHT ; LIGHT contatto.o5.2 : LIGHT ; LIGHT contatto.o5.1 : LIGHT ; LIGHT
You should then manually add comments and other optional parameters:
(devices) contatto.o10.1 : LIGHT ; LIGHT; main entrance light contatto.o6.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER; lobby dimmer contatto.o7.2 : LIGHT ; LIGHT; kitchen workbench contatto.o7.1 : LIGHT ; DIMMER; kitchen main dimmer
MCP Virtual Data Points and Registers
The MCP implements 2032 virtual points for binary (on/off) data and 1024 registers for positive scalar values (0-65535). All the virtual points and the registers can optionally generate I/O events. You can also write to the virtual data points and registers using the IO action in EVENTS or ioSet() method in Java.
You cannot directly control the MCP virtual data points and registers using GUI objects.
To enable polling of the current state of the MCP’s virtual data points, enable the virtualpoints options in hsyco.ini.
To enable polling of the current state of the MCP’s registers, enable the registers options in hsyco.ini.
If you only have to write to virtual points or registers, enabling polling is not strictly required.

---|---|---|---|
v0.<n> | 0 | RW | virtual data point <n> off (<n>: 1-2032) |
1 | RW | virtual data point <n> on (<n>: 1-2032) | |
r0.<n> | <x> | RW | register <n> off (<n>: 0-1023) set to value <x> (<x>: 0-65535) |
MCP Internal Clock
The MCP module has an integrated real-time clock. You can use the clock datapoint to read the MCP date and time, and set the MCP clock to HSYCO’s current time.
ID | Value | R/W | Description |
---|---|---|---|
clock | yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss | R | the MCP clock current time |
read | W | read the MCP clock, and the delta with HSYCO’s time | |
sync | W | set the MCP clock to HSYCO’s current time | |
